Verizon Joins Z-Wave Alliance

The Z-Wave Alliance announced this week that Verizon is its newest member.

“The Z-Wave Alliance is eager to welcome Verizon as an Alliance member,” Mark Walters, chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance, said in a statement.

“This membership is an extension of our partnership that was formed with the debut of Verizon’s connected home products last year. We look forward to continuing this partnership as Verizon extends its home control offerings.”

“Verizon’s home monitoring and control service provides customers convenient, anytime, anywhere access and control to one of the most important things in their lives – their home,” Ann Shaub, a director of product management for Verizon. “The Z-Wave ecosystem seamlessly connects a whole host of devices and allows our customers to control them from a computer, smartphone, or TV.”
